Description: Astronaut returns to Earth and discovers that his body begins to decompose and literally melt on his eyes. Another disturbing symptom is the desire for eating the flesh of other hyman beings.

Review: Not quite clear why such a deep hatred for this tape (3.20 points on the IMDb). Yes, in the 77th and poizvestnee out horror (“The Hills Have Eyes,” “eaten alive”, “Animal Day”), but why the “Melted” (full name on the passport – “Incredibly molten man”) remains in oblivion in the bins of history – never occurred to me. Yeah, from the film is in full treshovostyu, but because in those days went pugalki worse. incommensurability worse.

So astronauts fly into space. There they suddenly fall under the influence of an unknown space rubbish and lose consciousness. But the new Fantastic Four does not go – killed all but one, Steve West. When he came to have on the Earth (Pawson, and how on earth he got something, if unconscious was?), He discovers that he has begun to flow. Literally – astronaut began to turn into nasty straholyudinu. He started all the killing.

At first, the waterfall of blood, mucus, and even some shit blevotvornogo something not visible to the human drama, but it is. And it is not about ordinary people – who cares to them, when there man mutates into jelly? It is just about it – at some point I just feel sorry for the guy was. There was quite a handsome man, and here again you – such byaka. One can clearly see the parallels with more recent “City of goo” and “Fly” (a normal life – mutation – murder – abnormal hizn).

Here the well-known make-up artist Rick Baker made, so all in solid five – Molten quite naturally expires mucus, blood, and throws his eyes, his victim bleeding profusely and lose limbs. Another advantageous unlike most horror mikrobyudzhetnyh those times where more notorious “knife in the belly” tried not to retreat.

The authors, however, are not aware of their happiness and vigorous pace can not stand – jerked at the beginning (in the first ten minutes of the West manages to fly in space, radiated, mutate and ditch the first victim) somewhere in the middle of the creators run out of steam – Molten forced to hobble around, peep through the window so piteously crying. In the second half of the administered elderly couple – the most repulsive characters tape, largely due to desperate mugger, confusing God’s gift to the eggs (that is – a movie with TYuZom). In the finals, however, the creators rehabilitated.

I absolutely refuse to recognize this film thrash. It’s a tough thriller with a great make-up, good actor and a strong drama. And somehow, someone else’s opinion not take into account – I liked it, and well.

This movie was a LEGEND when I was in 8th grade (1977!). I finally got a chance to see it when it aired on a local TV Station some 9 years later (1986)–then rented the VHS. I’ve been looking for the full uncut version of this sad story—yes, it’s sad because you feel for the astronaut. Thank you for finding and preserving this Horror Classic. I LOVE it.
